I don’t understand why he doesn’t come back to clear his name. I’m sure they would show the same care and concern that they showed Jeffrey Epstein.

Anybody that is a fedwral employee, and in any manner handles sensitive information, must yearly sign an NDA. That NDA has a 25 year life, as does each consecutive one signed. Snowden, in writing his book, before that 25 year mark, broke contract, and is liable.

If Snowden could return to the US and receive a fair trial before a jury of peers then he would not be convicted of a thing.

So far all he has been guaranteed is a controlled trial where many things cannot even be mentioned...that is not a fair trial.

IMO, they would rather he remain a fugitive than allow a fair trial and endure the humiliation of losing in court.

There is no honour in the US justice system anymore...not when the FBI and DOJ are corrupt to the core.

He can’t ‘clear his name.’ He stole material that wasn’t his to steal, and carried it directly to the enemies of the US.

And then the same German mother company that gave book deals to Comey and McCabe paid him with a book deal, too.

He is a coconspirator with Comey...and Mueller. Goes back to 2004, when Comey and Mueller pulled that trick to block Gonzales from Ashcroft.

“He can’t ‘clear his name.’ He stole material that wasn’t his to steal, and carried it directly to the enemies of the US.”

So they say. At one time I would have been inclined to agree but the last few years observing this cadre of corrupt individuals from our intelligence, law enforcement and justice I have lost trust for them. I’m not that good at compartmentalizing so since they have led me to distrust them in the election overthrow I tend to require concrete proof of everything they are involved in. No longer will I blindly believe someone is guilty just cause they say so.

Yup—he violated the law.

The problem is that the NSA and their contractors were and almost certainly still are spying on Americans, and are lying about it, or trading intelligence with foreign nations that do it—if that is legal it shouldn’t be, and if it is not every last one of them belongs in jail.

So, in my eyes, Snowden is the hero and the NSA and its contractors are the traitors.

They want to put him in front of a firing squad, why would he care about a civil suit? They don’t want more damning truth come out. Bet they try to outlaw it here. One way or another, I am getting one...

But my sentiments are the same.

Snowden's been supported by former Church committee staff director, William Green Miller, who signed a letter to Obama and Lynch requesting leniency for Snowden. For those of you who don't know what he has been up to, William Green Miller was Obama and Kerry's back channel guy to arrange the Iran Deal.

Senator Obama’s team set up the Iranian back channel not only before Barack Obama was sworn in as president, but before the 2008 election was even held. Senator Obama’s team sent former U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine William Green Miller to meet with Islamic regime officials inside Iran, circumventing NSA surveillance. In other words, the Obama campaign had its own private emissary on the ground inside Iran, secretly negotiating with a sworn enemy of the United States that was involved in a dispute.----https://bigleaguepolitics.com/insiders-not-prosecute-obamas-secret-back-channel-iran/

Snowmen will go to prison for life... fleeing thru China to Russia. He is literally a dead man walking. If you think he is some kind of whistleblower you are wrong.

Snowden is a hero. And he will go down in history as such. The swamp wants him dead. But he unveiled the CIA and FBI for what they are, crooks and liars.

I was careful to not say he was guilt free.

But it is true that in a fair trial they would be unable to get 12 to convict.

The issues are too technical and too clouded by extreme opinion on both sides....hung juries forever is the likely outcome.

I want fair trials even if the guilty go free....tyranny awaits us on the other path.
